Once again this year our Bishop and Brother Hugh led the annual Aberdeen Diocesan Pilgrimage to Pluscarden. The weather was kind to us: a fair day, without either hot sunshine or rain, enabling many to picnic in our grounds before the Mass, in festive atmosphere.
RESIGNATION OF THE ABBATIAL OFFICE BY FR. ABBOT ANSELM
The Roof goes on, and Sleeping Joseph is completed
Work on our new ladies' Guest House, St. Joseph's, is progressing quite rapidly.
In one of our pictures given below you see 9 men working at once, not untypically, on the roof.
At the time of writing this news post, the roof's skeleton frame is covered by planks and a membrane, and the 5 North-facing Dormer Window frames are in place. The slaters are at work in a shed to the side, sorting out their slates, ready to start going on.
